Jim and Shirl Parmentier have been full time studio potters since 1979. After working on their craft and raising two daughters in upstate New York, their home and studio is now located in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Their work has been displayed at nationally juried shows and at fine craft galleries.

Studio visits are welcome by appointment. Their handmade lamps and other functional ceramics are always available at Ariel Gallery, 19 Biltmore Ave., Asheville, NC. Ariel Gallery is known to be one of the most prestigious co-operative galleries in the country. http://www.arielcraftgallery.com.
